Face exposure

A determination of faces exposed on supported palladium has been made by comparing frequencies of adsorbed CO s with those observed on single crystals (6). There is merit to this approach to study of face exposure for supported metals. However, the Kugler-Boudart method is not suitable for supported platinum where only small frequency differences are expected. Dipole-dipole interactions deserve further study and refinement.

The use of personal protective equipment is very important in spill situations because response personnel face exposure to chemicals that could cause serious injury or illness. The hazards are accentuated by the unknown physical environment of the spill site and the random nature of spills. The multiple hazards of spill sites distinguish such incidents from spills in the laboratory or exposure to chemicals in the workplace. Spill responders entering a site cannot always predict what chemicals or concentrations they will encounter and what other hazards may be present. There is also a lack of standards and guidelines for selecting and using personal protective equipment for chemical spill emergency situations. Most standards are written for use in the workplace and may not be fully applicable to emergency situations. 

A. Eye and face exposure. If MDA is splashed into the eyes, wash the eyes for at least 15 minutes. See a doctor as soon as possible. 

Self contained breathing apparatus operated in positive pressure mode. Impervious clothing and gloves should be worn to avoid skin contact. Splash proof goggles and face shield should be used to prevent eye and face exposure. 

Shield experimental set-ups and waste using sheet lead and lead glass. Also use shielding to prevent eye and face exposure. Proper shielding for I is relatively easy to arrange, while 1 requires much more shielding (see below). 

The entire x-ray exposure cabinet including it s extension into the lower electrical cabinet is shielded with a minimum of one-inch of steel clad, lead plate with fiilly welded (fused lead) joints. The safety interlock switch on the cam-lock inter-face ... 

Health and Safety Factors. The following toxicides for acetonitrile have been reported oral LD q (lats), 3030—6500 mg/kg skin LD q (rabbits), 3884—7850 mg/kg and inhalation LC q (i ts), 7500—17,000 ppm (29). Humans can detect the odor of acetonitrile at 40 ppm. Exposure for 4 h at up to 80 ppm has not produced adverse effects. However, exposure for 4 h at 160 ppm results in reddening of the face and some temporary bronchial tightness. 

Whereas the eadiest fluorescent-dye pigments would last only 20 days outdoors in a screen-ink film, fade resistance has been improved to such an extent that some modem daylight-fluorescent coated panels stiU have useful color after nine months or mote in Florida sunlight in a 45° exposure tack facing south. The fluorescent layer is usually coated with an acrylic film containing a uv absorber. Indoor-accelerated exposure equipment is, of course, invaluable in the development of such systems. Better dyes and resins very likely will make possible fat mote stable coatings in the future. 

The toxicity of chloronaphthalenes requires that special attention and caution be used during their manufacture and use acne is the most common result of excessive skin exposure to them and the most frequendy affected areas are the face and neck (16). Liver damage has occurred in workers who have been exposed repeatedly to vapors, particulady to those of penta- and hexachloronaphthalene [1335-87-1] (17,18). Uses for the chlorinated naphthalenes include solvents, gauge and instmment duids, capacitor impregnants, components in electric insulating compounds, and electroplating stop-off compounds. 

In view of the above, aniline should be handled in areas with adequate ventilation and skin exposure should be avoided by wearing the proper safety equipment. Recommended personal protective equipment includes hard hat with brim, chemical safety goggles, hiU length face shield, mbber gaundet gloves, mbber apron, and mbber safety shoes or mbber boots worn over leather shoes. 

Durability. Grass-like surfaces intended for heavy-duty athletic use should have a service life of at least eight years, a common warranty period provided by suppHers. Lifetime is more or less proportional to the ultraviolet (uv) exposure (sunlight) and to the amount of face ribbon available for wear, but pile density and height also have an effect. Color is a factor generally uv absorption is highest with red fabrics and least with blue. In addition, different materials respond differendy to abrasive wear. These effects caimot be measured except in simulated field use and controlled laboratory experiments, which do not necessarily redect field conditions.
